We would like to send a special thanks to everyone who sponsored an angel from the Angel trees, the anonymous monetary donations and the food given to families for the holidays.
The businesses that placed Angel trees helped sponsor 1,356 children.
We also thank the Toys for Tots, which donated a lot of toys and stocking stuffers, as well as the schools that did the same.
We’re grateful for those who donated coats and scarves. We thank God for these wonderful supporters.

The board of directors of Habitat for Humanity of Lancaster County would like to thank all who supported our New Year’s Eve “Topping Out” celebration and fundraiser.
It was a great time for a good cause, to usher in the New Year. We were honored to receive support from people, organizations and businesses all across the county. Your support is helping us reach our goal of providing affordable housing for lower-income families in Lancaster County.

“Your life isn’t changed by the man that’s elected..” – Avett Brothers
Americans look with desperation to Washington to solve our problems. For many of us, however, our largest problem is in the mirror. For what we are doing to ourselves through lack of exercise and an atrocious diet presents a much greater threat to our well-being than an entrenched Congress.

As I write this letter to the editor, the liberal Democratic Party and President Barack Obama are trying to extend the payroll tax cut.
The thing they’re not informing you of is that this is not a tax cut. This money is going to you instead of going to the Social Security fund.
That’s right, the Social Security fund is being short-changed again. Obama is telling you it’s needed to boost the economy, yet this tax cut has been in effect for almost a year and it’s had zero effect.

I agree with Sun City residents and letter writers Tom and Maryann White. U.S. 521 is a mess, not only in Indian Land, but the entire four lane from the Lancaster city limits to the North Carolina state line needs improvement.
I recall the highway signs from the past that read, “See the best state on the best roads.” Maybe an earlier version, “The Iodine State,” would be more appropriate.

Is his name Vince Lambardi, Bear Bryant or maybe Dale Earnhardt? He’s not a famous football coach or seven-time
NASCAR champion.
No, his name is Barry Faile, sheriff of Lancaster County.
I have heard people say “there goes Lancaster’s finest” in a sarcastic tone when a deputy rode by, followed with a whisper, “what a joke – they’re nothing.”
It looks like the joke is on us. Just as it takes a well-oiled team to accomplish what the three men above accomplished. They are known as the best of the best.
